John Elway on Chris Harris Jr. contract extension: ‘I don’t have time right now.’

Earlier this year, Denver Broncos General Manager John Elway stated the team would wait until the 2019 NFL Draft is over before engaging contract discussions with All-Pro cornerback Chris Harris Jr.

Harris opted to skip the Broncos voluntary offseason program, and elected to work out on his own.

Originally scheduled for Monday, the Broncos unexpectedly rescheduled the pre-draft press conference for Tuesday at noon. Elway opened the pre-draft press conference by saying, “Welcome to the most irrelevant press conference of the year.”

John answered questions regarding the draft and prospects with a professional tone that is expected of an NFL executive.
